Context for the Precursors

Scientific achievement

Noel Hallewell of the Cooperative for the Advancement of Science and Technology discovers critical information about the alien wreck field in the Teucer system. A detailed record of the scrubbed reports is made available to the scientific community at large, and is as follows in the expanded view.

They don't seem to have named themselves or their species in the records you have here. Some of the context is impossible to discern. These slug like creatures were around and active in the galaxy at the same time as the Slyth and seemed to have been something of a minor power. They traded with both sides of the conflict and were in this region of space trying to flee from the Slyth engineered plague that had mutated to spread among their species as well. Evidence suggests this mutation was unintentional, as it was in the Slyth race as well.     This region was three sectors south of the Slyth cluster and they thought they would be safe here. The last log details some sort of attack by Piggen pirate raiders, before the log registers a reactor breach and the computers collected no more data. It explains the breach and the massive decompression in the side of the vessel by which you entered.     Life preservation protocols locked the ship down. Stranded out here with the entire refugee fleet damaged or destroyed in a similar manner they were forced to watch themselves expire as the life support gradually ran out.
